The return of LatteMiele 2.0 with the legendary members Massimo Gori (bass player and singer) and Luciano Poltini (keyboard player) who played in the band from 1974 until 1980 when the group disbanded after the great album 'Aquile E Scoiattoli'. 'Paganini Experience' is dedicated to the "Devil's Violin" Niccolò Paganini… the true first rockstar ever. A dark character, wrapped in mystery, charismatic, with a gloomy aspect. Acclaimed by the crowds, desired by women. Character of the most beloved and at the same time reviled.

Distant Satellites (stylised as distant satellites) is the tenth studio album by the British rock band Anathema. It was released in June 2014 via Kscope and reached #33 in the UK album charts.
The album was recorded at Cederberg Studios in Oslo, with producer Christer-André Cederberg, with some songs also mixed by Steven Wilson due to an operation on Cederberg's back.

Excellent Neo Prog band from Switzerland. Many aspects feature in their beautiful music, mainly the outstanding voice of Aluisio Magini, which fits perfectly on top of a well structured instrumentation. The style on "More Grains of Sand" is also very typical of the melodic rock produced by British bands since the '80s (ex: MARILLION, PENDRAGON, IQ). On their third album "Fears" Clepsydra's main influence is still very much the Fish-era MARILLION. This is a fantastic and very powerful album with great vocals, a very tight sound with the bass and the dynamic drumming and some stunning guitar playing. Highly recommended!

Archangel is the monicker of Gabriele Manzini, he is the current keyboard player of Ubi Maior. At the beginning of the '90s, together with Simone Rossetti (The Watch frontman), he joined a Marillion cover band, but after a good number of rehearsals he left the line-up (they will collaborate nearly ten years later in the The Watch). Along with drummer Alessandro Di Caprio he joined some bands from Milan (Lighthouse Keepers, Ice Chain), performing either original songs and hard rock and progressive rock covers. In 2009 he released "The Akallabeth", his first solo album. In spring 2013 he released the cover of Pink Floyd's “Gunner’s Dream”. In october 2013 the new CD "Tales of Love and Blood" has been released. It features Damian Wilson (Threshold, Headspace, Maiden United) on lead vocals and some italian well known prog rock musicians.

Archangel is the brainchild of former The Watch and current Ubi Maior keyboardist, Gabriele Dario Manzini. Manzini began studying the piano in 1984 and took inspiration from a wide array of progressive and classic rock bands of the 70's. In 2000, Manzini joined The Watch and recorded the album "Ghosts" with the band. He left after the tour for the album to join Ubi Maior. He has released two albums with that band. In 2007, he began recording his first solo album based on the history of Numenor from J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion. For the recording of his album "The Akallabeth" he assembled a group of musicians from The Watch and Ubi Maior, as well as from the band Winter Mist. He also gathered a group of singers including Damian Wilson, Ted Leonard and Zachary Stevens, among others. The album was released in May of 2009 and Manzini spent some time touring the album among Italian radio stations. At the end of October, the album was nominated for the 4th annual ProgAwards as Best Debut Album.

Sebkha-Chott is a French experimental rock band from Le Mans - France - implying a mythology and a world (Ohreland) within all its actions (albums, shows, communication…). Distributed by a progressive rock label called Muséa Records, the band is often listed in very different styles and categories: metal, jazz, fusion… Mocking categorization, the band pretends playing self-proclamated musical styles: Mekanik Metal Disco (until 2008), Abstract Low Coast Hip Hop | Concrete Violence | AvantPorn Mekanik Metal from 2009, often condensed in: Bizarre AvantPorn Mekanik TheaterCore since 2012. Mainly, Sebkha-Chott is compared to Frank Zappa, Magma, Mr Bungle and Fantômas. The band is from early times deeply implied in an indie way of production and in free art.

Claiming influences like RUSH, GENESIS and OZRIC TENTACLES, Pittsburgh,PA band PERSEPHONE"S DREAM (named after a Greek myth) was formed initially in 1993 by guitarist Rowen POOLE and bassist Christ SIEGEL. The duo drafted an intern named Judilynn NEIDERCORN to sing vocals and recorded the band's first album, 'Evening Mirage', in Rowan's dining room. Although the album was not released until 1997, it gained some radio play and a cut off the record was used on a U.S. soap opera.

Pattern-Seeking Animals is a quartet featuring Spock's Beard members Ted Leonard, Jimmy Keegan and Dave Meros alongside long-time contributing songwriter-producer John Boegehold. Of the musical direction, Boegehold comments: “Progressive, intricate and melodic, P-S A is a clean slate, so I found myself drawing on a few different musical influences and using some contemporary production ideas and sounds that I probably wouldn’t use with Spock’s Beard for various reasons.”

This is the album that solidified Uriah Heep's reputation as a master of gothic-inflected heavy metal. From short, sharp rock songs to lengthy, musically dense epics, Demons and Wizards finds Uriah Heep covering all the bases with style and power. The album's approach is set with its lead-off track, "The Wizard": it starts as a simple acoustic tune but soon builds into a stately rocker that surges forth on a Wall of Sound built from thick guitar riffs, churchy organ, and operatic vocal harmonies. Other highlights include "Traveller in Time," a fantasy-themed rocker built on thick wah-wah guitar riffs, and "Circle of Hands," a stately power ballad with a gospel-meets-heavy metal feel to it.

Instrumentals written, performed and recorded by Bob Drake, at home in Caudeval, France, October 2018 - June 2019.

Good news for all friends of prog/fusion music of Jukka Gustavson, the organist/keyboard player, vocalist and composer who, prior to his long and many-sided solo career, was for the most part responsible of WIGWAM's classic albums Fairyport (1971) and Being (1974). The sound of this new release may bring even those albums in mind here and there. By the way, in recent years he has been active playing live the music of Wigwam in various line-ups – although the material on those gigs have emphasized on the Pembroke-Rechardt "deep pop" era of Wigwam (his modesty has gone perhaps too far, thinks the more prog-oriented part of the audience). To some degree, Prognosis is a return to Gustavson's progressive style after a couple of more roots/blues-oriented collaborative albums. This is not to say that his familiar bluesy touch wouldn't be present here too.

Next to Embryo, Kraan are among those German groups who include psychedelic, sometimes ethnic elements to their distinctive, innovative jazz rock. At the beginning of their career, started in 1970, Kraan free form jazz rock was really into jam sessions, totally improvised, mainly instrumental (featuring sax sections and many guitar / bass solos). Their self title album was experimented with ethnic, psychedelic / acid tastes and discreet electronic manipulations. Since their debut album and with their two following "Wintrup", "Andy Nogger" the band has demonstrated with interest, dynamism and humour how can we make fusion / jazz with addition of influences from everywhere. Really imaginative, inspired and technical these albums provide something new and amazing: an absolute trippy ethnic jazz rock. Before the golden era for Kraan ended, they managed to release with producer Conny Plank one last excellent live recording "Tournee"…
